Crawley Town face Northampton Town at Broadfield Stadium, Crawley, West Sussex on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 8:45 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the League 2, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Crawley Town come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Northampton Town, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Crawley Town and Northampton Town have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (3W–4D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Crawley Town a slight edge, but Northampton Town are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
